Sure, you can use it on copper and brass, it basically helps to get full coverage/less leaks.

How do we get rid of the cling-on? Two bad mistakes.

Thank you for that. The clumps are on the union seal (tread end) also. I unfortunately I placed the connection verticle on a block of wood and the solder ran down and pooled inside the end. When I picked it up there were two clumps attached to the inside edge on one and the other was on the seal edge. Can I reheat to melt the clumps and wipe off? Just don't know how to fix this.

It's gonna be tough, you'd be better off getting a new union and restarting. Try putting some PTFE tape (teflon tape) on the parts you don't want the solder to go on, works for me.

Got2learn (admin): Most likely your flap that's not sealing right anymore, try fussing with it, maybe it has some gunk on it. May 29, 2024 0:25:50 GMT
